Lipitor Negative Side Effects
=============================

The potential for Lipitor negative side effects is quite significant,
and as such those with high cholesterol should think twice before
taking it as well as other cholesterol medications to treat their
condition.
What is Lipitor and how does it lower cholesterol?
Lipitor is a prescription medication (called a statin) that lowers LDL
(bad) cholesterol levels in the body. Some of the other poular statins
are Pravachol, Zocor, Zetia and Crestor.

Liptor and other statin drugs work by blocking the enzyme that your
liver uses to produce cholesterol. Although Lipitor has limited effect
on HDL (good) cholesterol, it does succeed in lowering your LDL
cholesterol levels. However, Lipitor negative side effects are a real
concern, and doctors should be more cautious when prescribing it for
their patients.
What are the adverse side effects of Lipitor?
In addition to the adverse reactions common to many prescription
medications such as headaches, nausea and fever, other problems with
this drug can be much more serious...there are some Lipitor unusual
side effects you may have to contend with.

Some of the most troubling Lipitor negative side effects include
extreme muscle pain and muscle disease (statin induced myopathy), and
severe liver problems. These conditions are quite serious and can be
fatal.
According to the official Lipitor web site:

"Lipitor is not for everyone, including those with liver disease or
possible liver problems". "Your doctor may do simple blood tests to
monitor liver function before and during drug treatment."
"Tell your doctor about any unusual muscle pain or weakness. This
could be a sign of serious side effects."

Other potential Lipitor unusual side effects:
In addition to serious muscle and liver problems much clinical
research has shown that Lipitor negative side effects could include
sexual performance problems and sexual dysfunction, as well as memory
loss, irritability and personality changes.

Other problems with prescription cholesterol lowering drugs:
1) While cholesterol lowering drugs do lower LDL (bad) cholesterol,
they have limited effect on HDL (good) cholesterol, and no effect on
triglycerides (fats), an equally important heart disease risk
indicator.
2) Statin medications decrease your body's supply of CoEnzyme Q10
(CoQ10), which is an essential nutrient for heart strength and
function.

3) There are natural cholesterol lowering nutrients, some of which
have been shown to outperform statins in lowering cholesterol, without
the possible negative Lipitor side effects. Take a look at these
natural ingredients to the right.

Natural alternatives to Lipitor
Although Lipitor and other statin drugs can help lower cholesterol,
there are natural alternatives which may be a better, safer option for
you. Many nutrients found naturally have been shown to not only lower
LDL cholesterol, but also lower triglycerides (fats) and increase HDL
levels.

Some of these nutrients have actually been proven to outperform statin
drugs, without the potential Lipitor unusual side effects. Take a look
at some of these natural supplements below:
Policosanol - a natural extract from sugar cane which has been shown
to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels as well as raise HDL (good)
cholesterol. More importantly policosanol has been proven to be free
of side effects, unlike the statins.

Guggulipid Extract - an ancient herb from India recently shown to
lower cholesterol levels and can also reduce triglyceride levels,
another risk factor for heart disease.
Green Tea Extract - green tea is widely used for many medicinal
purposes, and has been shown to reduce triglycerides as well as LDL
cholesterol, and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. Green tea also has
antioxidants that can prevent heart disease, cancer and other
illnesses.

Beta Sitosterol - Found naturally in soybeans, wheat germ and corn
oil, this plant compound has a similar structure to cholesterol and as
such can help stop the absorption of cholesterol in the body.

As with all health supplements, make sure you consult your physician
or other qualified medical professional before taking any supplement
to avoid Lipitor negative side effects or any cholesterol medications.
It is very crucial to remember that all pharmaceutical medications,
although they can be beneficial, can cause possible adverse reactions.

A natural alternative can offer similar cholesterol lowering results
without the Lipitor unusual side effects and those of similar statin
medications.
